In the end if your UBR is over subscribed and you are getting below 4Mb then you'll still get the same whether they put you on 10 or 20Mb speed. In fact upgrading all the 4Mb's on an over subscribed UBR is likely to make it a lot worse.
Will though it make a difference to a lot of us?? Those who just use the internet for web browsing, downloading a song off Itunes, getting game demo from file planet or playing WoW online probably will never notice the difference as just about all the websites/downloads/games are limited to a Mb or two per single connection. It's really only those who use newsgroups and/or torrents for whom it will make a difference as they're using multi connections from the same source.
I wonder though how many of those screaming "WHEN WILL I BE UPGRADED" would actually notice the difference???

Just do what I do then and download them overnight, no limit and you're not adding to the already congested 4pm-9pm.
I know it's not ideal but if you don't want STM then there's always ADSL (but then you've got crazy FUP limits set to about 40GB a month which means you can't download a lot per night)
